Chapter 178: Little Prince【11】
Xie Ying's dazed tone made Yuan Jia stunned.
He didn't know how to answer. In fact, Xie Ying was not bad, he was an excellent boy.
It's just that Xie Ying's excellence is ordinary excellence. Compared with Yuan Jia, who is open to hanging, and Qi Yuan, who has a halo, it seems ordinary.
Moreover, a thirteen-year-old boy will inevitably be fond of fun. Jianping Wang's instinct to force Xie Ying to study hard will cause him to become rebellious.
In the original plot, King Jianping had only one son left, Xie Ying. His performance was not compared with that of the excellent elder brother Yuan Jia. In King Jianping's view, he was naturally satisfied.
Even if King Jianping educated Xie Ying very harshly, he would praise him when he performed well, and the rebellious psychology of his studies would not be as serious as it is now.
Now that Yuanjia is the jewel in front, no matter how hard Xie Ying performs, King Jianping will not be satisfied. After working hard, Xie Ying found out that what she got was always criticism, and she could never keep up with her brother's footsteps, so she gave up in despair.
For Xie Ying, Yuan Jia had no other ideas. He couldn't get close to him, but he didn't dislike him. He even sympathized with Xie Ying. The young boy, at the age of junior high school in modern times, was forced by King Jianping like this.
Yuan Jia sat on a stool by the bed, looked at Xie Ying lying on the bed, and said, "Father's words, sometimes you don't want to listen to them, after all, your life is your own, you don't have to do it for others. Live. Life is always lived by yourself, if you live happily or not, ask yourself."
Xie Ying was stunned. It was the first time someone told him that it was up to him whether he wanted to listen to his father's words or not.
In the past, whether it was the people who served him or his biological mother Lu, they all told him that he would listen to his father's words, let his father love him, make plans for his mother and himself in the future, and rely on his father's favor to fight.
But what are you fighting for? Fight for the throne? Fight for property? With his brother in front of him blocking it like a big mountain, how could he win.
No matter how much his father loves him again, the emperor must decree the succession of the throne. The emperor is the uncle of his first brother, so how could he be willing to let a concubine of him steal the throne of his own nephew?
It's not that Xie Ying has no ambitions, he just thinks clearly and sees clearly, so he can hide his ambitions and be a prince of the palace in peace.
Yuan Jia put the golden sore medicine on the head of the bed and said, "This is the golden sore medicine given by the queen mother, and the effect is excellent."
Xie Ying smiled at Yuan Jia and said, "Thank you, brother."
Yuan Jia didn't stay too much. He didn't have much interaction with Xie Ying, so naturally he didn't have much to talk about.
King Jianping later heard that Yuan Jia went to visit Xie Ying. He didn't have a happy look on his face, but a complicated mood.
Yuan Jia has an official position in the imperial court. As early as a year ago, he was arranged by the emperor into the six divisions by exception, and he was treated like the prince when he entered the dynasty. The treatment was better than those of the unpopular little transparent princes Many princes are envious and jealous.
He did a few errands perfectly, and this time he supervised the management of the river and made contributions, so he was directly promoted by the emperor to the position of the third grade.
The speed of this promotion is almost the same as that of the celestial monkey, which makes many officials who have entered the imperial examinations and are still in the process of seniority murmur with envy and hatred.
Yuan Jiacai doesn't care about other people's jealous words. If he has a status advantage, he doesn't need to be a fool. Anyway, he has real materials, and it's not a slap in the face that is purely based on his relationship with the superior. What is he afraid of?
Not only is he not afraid, he is also very active in the courtroom. He dares to pick up hot potatoes that others dare not pick up, and he is not afraid of offending people, and he does his errands beautifully.
However, on the way to work, it is inevitable that because of the interests of some people, people will jump over the wall and want to make him die unexpectedly.
It's a pity that these people don't know that they are dealing with a man who is open to hanging, and the poisonous assassination is ineffective, but Yuan Jiashunteng is uprooted instead.
Yuan Jia went to Jiangnan once and cleaned up the salt administration. Although it could not cure the root cause, it could temporarily cure the symptoms.
With the sword of Shang Fang in his hand, he slaughtered people's heads, and he didn't care who was behind those unclean people, and he was not afraid of offending people at all.
Jiangnan at least has Qingming for several years.
When Yuan Jia returned to Beijing, almost all the officials in Jiangnan were sending him off.
On the way back to Beijing, there were several waves of assassinations, the purpose of which was to **** some evidence from Yuan Jia.
Because he only killed the minions in Jiangnan, the master behind the minions is still safe and sound. These physical evidences are powerful evidence to eradicate the master envoy behind the scenes.
How could the messenger behind the scenes allow him to return to Beijing alive?
It is a pity that the assassin sent to assassinate him has no effect except to provide him with a few more witnesses.
Yuan Jia rushed back to the capital without even bothering to change his clothes, so he went directly to the palace to see the emperor, and handed over the evidence in his hand to the emperor.
The emperor simply looked at the evidence. Although there was anger on his face, he was not too angry, because Yuan Jia had written to tell him the matter long before he returned to Beijing, and he had already been angry in advance.
The emperor glanced at Yuan Jia, and said with some emotion: "These evidences involve too many people, even your father is involved, but you are sincere and did not do anything at all."
Yuan Jia said calmly: "Father is just to control the disadvantage of his subordinates. These people are doing mischief in the name of father, and they will die."
The emperor laughed and said: "Well, it has nothing to do with your father, it is these people who make their own opinions."
＜＜＜＜＜＜
After Yuanjia returned to Jianping Palace, Jianping King came to him angrily: "Yuanjia, didn't you receive the letter that this king sent you!"
Yuan Jia replied calmly: "Yes, but I don't want to let those people go."
King Jianping gritted his teeth and said, "Those are the subordinates of our Jianping palace. What if you let them go and let them go? Do you have to kill them all?"
Yuan Jia tilted his head and looked at King Jianping carefully. Seeing that King Jianping felt a little nervous, he said slowly: "Father, I tell the emperor about this, you are only controlling your subordinates and it has nothing to do with you. But Looking at your reaction, King Father, it seems that you ordered this matter? What do you want to do when you put your hand in the salt administration? The palace of Jianping is so rich and luxurious, you can't spend it all in your life, King Father, you have made so much money, what do you want to do? what?"
Jianping Wang looked at Yuan Jia with a sullen face, Yuan Jia couldn't avoid it, and looked back sharply.
After a while, King Jianping was the first to look away.
Looking at Yuan Jia's eyes, he felt a guilty conscience inexplicably.
Yuan Jia paced and said softly: "Father, I found something interesting this time going south. Jiangnan is rich in thin horses. After I went to Jiangnan, a salt merchant sent me several young and beautiful women. Do you know what I found when I followed this clue?"
There was a momentary look of panic on King Jianping's face, but he quickly stabilized and changed the subject: "Since this matter is over, this king will not question you, but the king still hopes that you can understand, Your name is Xie!"
Yuan Jia indifferently looked at King Jianping, who avoided his gaze, and said lightly, "Of course I know, but I know even more about how I should do some things."
King Jianping felt that there was something in what he said, and it sounded harsh. He wanted to reprimand him, but he felt guilty and uneasy about Shang Yuanjia's cold and stern face, and subconsciously turned around and fled.
Seeing the back of King Jianping leaving in a hurry, Yuan Jia sighed faintly.
It's been more than ten years. I didn't expect to go to Jiangnan to investigate Yanzheng this time, and unexpectedly find clues about the abduction case more than ten years ago.
Who would have thought that the dignified King Jianping would actually operate a human trafficking business in secret.
Of course, Yuan Jia wouldn't think that King Jianping simply wanted to make money from human trafficking, which is not as good as selling private salt to make money.
Think about the girls who were abducted and trafficked, who were brainwashed and raised to become thin horses in Yangzhou and sent to the backyards of officials in various places, as well as the eunuchs and maids who were sent to the palace... What a huge network of relationships this is.
When he returned to the emperor before, the emperor said that he was sincere and didn't do anything.
In fact, he suppressed the clues that King Jianping was secretly operating the population trade, and did not report it.
It's not that he wants to cover up King Jianping because of his father-son relationship. King Jianping has not been close to him these years.
What's more, when the original owner was abducted and sold, it is obviously inseparable from King Jianping.
Yuan Jia was extremely disgusted by human traffickers, and did not want to cover up King Jianping, but he wanted to investigate first, did King Jianping order someone to abduct and sell the original owner? Even the death of the original owner, was it the hand of King Jianping?
It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, is King Jianping really so ruthless and ruthless that he poisoned his five-year-old son?
At that time, although King Jianping still had a concubine, Xie Ying, but Xie Ying was only two years old at the time, and he didn't know if he could stand.
Because Yuan Jia escaped from the traffickers after crossing over, and was never abducted and sold, the plot collapsed at the beginning, so the clues were cut off, and it was difficult to find out the cause of death of the original owner in the original plot.
In the days that followed, Yuan Jia led people to follow the clues he found to crack down on human traffickers everywhere, especially those developed by Jianping Wang secretly, and he focused on the target.
King Jianping has been so annoyed by his subordinates that his hair has fallen to the point of going bald.
The organization that he developed when he was a father was swept away by his own son as an illegal underworld force. What is this?
But he didn't dare to get angry with Yuan Jia.
Because he was afraid that Yuan Jia would find out what happened more than ten years ago, he could only grit his teeth to hide his subordinates, refrain from activities for the time being, give up the stronghold on the bright side, and wait for Yuan Jia to stop before recovering.
However, King Jianping found out that Yuan Jia seemed to have placed eyeliner in him, and he could not hide any mobilization or decision he made, and the lurking subordinates were also swept away.
